recommendation (including report
paragraph number)
separately.
Para 34. Report estimates of
emissions from oil exploration and
production and natural gas
exploration and
production/processing.
Para 35. Include background
information on the methodologies
used to calculate emissions from
natural gas distribution, transmission
and storage.
Para 37. Clarify the text in the NIR
regarding the collection of data for
marine diesel use in domestic
navigation.
Para 38. New Zealand includes
information on the revised estimates
in its next annual submission.
Para 65. For reporting the area of
organic soil: Add an explanation and
comment on the use of the notation
key “NO”.
Para 66. Provide more detailed
information for the SOCREF
estimation.
Para 67. For reporting of natural
forest under forest land remaining
forest land: Include emission
estimates for each carbon pool for
each year of the Inventory, as well as
detailed documentation in the NIR on
the research undertaken and
interpretation of the results, and the
effect of these estimates on the time
series.
Para 68. Correct the notation key to
“NA” for the dead organic matter pool
on the basis that “the IPCC Tier 1
approach assumes that there is no
change in dead organic matter
carbon stocks in grassland remaining
grassland”.
Para 69. Improve the transparency of
its reporting on controlled burning of
grassland and woody biomass within
the agriculture sector by including
cross-references in the NIR where
appropriate.
Para 76. Provide more transparent
information on how the Party will
avoid the potential underestimation of
emissions from CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O
deforestation at the end of the first
commitment period.
Para 77: Include estimates of non-
CO 2 emissions from controlled
burning and wildfires on land subject
to deforestation activities.
New Zealand response
submission.
Completed. New Zealand has included
this information in the 2014 Inventory
submission.
Completed. This has been clarified in
section 3.3.8 of the 2014 Inventory
submission.
Completed. This is reported in section
3.2.7 of the Inventory submission.
Emissions of N 2 O as a result of flaring
have been included and are now aligned
with the 1996 IPCC Guidelines
methodologies.
Completed. Instead of adding an
explanation on the use of the “NO”
notation key the land-use area threshold
used for changes less than 100 hectares
was removed for the 2014 submission.
Completed. Additional information on New
Zealand’s Tier 2 soils model was provided
in section 7.3 of the 2014 submission.
Completed. Interim results of analyses
from the re-measurement of natural forest
plots were used for the 2014 submission.
The 2015 submission uses the final results
of analyses from a full re-measurement of
natural forest plots in New Zealand.
Not implemented. This was not
implemented as guidance prepared in
November 2013, Annex 1 of Decision
24/CP.19, indicates that the notation key
NE should be used in this case instead
(refer to para 37(b) and footnote 6 of
Annex 1 of this decision).
Completed. Additional cross-referencing
to the agriculture chapter was added for
the 2014 submission.
Completed. Sections 7.2.2 and 11.4 of the
2014 submission contained additional
information on avoidance of potential
underestimation of emissions in the first
commitment period.
Completed. New Zealand provided
estimates for controlled burning and
wildfires on land subject to deforestation in
the 2014 submission (section 11.3.1 and
section 7.10.5).
